    The Residential Colleges of the University 1997 The establishment of residential colleges was envisaged from the foundation of the University and their affiliation was expressly provided for in the original Act of Incorporation. The Government set aside sites for the purpose within the area generally reserved for the University. The first of the colleges, Trinity (an Anglican foundation of 1870), was opened in 1872. The first Warden of Trinity, Alexander Leeper, quickly built up a comprehensive system of college teaching. This was adopted by other colleges on their foundation, and remains a distinguishing feature of the Melbourne collegiate system. So too, do the large enrolment of non-resident students and the provision of significant college libraries, now supplemented by computer installations. The college tutorial system (in which International House and Medley Hall also participate) is in general supplementary to teaching offered by the University's faculties, and is organized in part on an intercollegiate basis. Formal links with the University on academic matters are maintained through a Joint Committee of the Academic Board and the Heads of Colleges, and under a Statute of the University (S5.1.2), "any teacher in an affiliated institution" may be appointed to membership of a faculty. Heads of colleges sit in rotation as co-opted members of the University Council, and play a considerable part in the committee work of the University. The other three colleges for which sites had been originally reserved were established as follows: Ormond (Presbyterian foundation, 1870), opened 1881; Queen's (Methodist foundation, 1887), opened 1888; Newman (Roman Catholic foundation, 1916), opened 1918.

  • A History of the House of the Gentle Bunyip (1975-90): a Contribution to Australian Church Life
    A HISTORY OF THE HOUSE OF THE GENTLE BUNYIP (1975-90): A CONTRIBUTION TO AUSTRALIAN CHURCH LIFE By MARITA RAE MUNRO, BA, BD, DIPED, MTH A SHORTER THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS OF TI-IE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS IN HISTORY (WITH ADVANCED SEMINARS COMPONENT). NOVEMBER 2002 THE UNIVERSITY OF MELBOURNE p ABSTRACT The House of the Gentle Bunyip was an ecumenical Christian community that existed from 1975 to 1996 in Clifton Hill, an inner Melbourne suburb. Founded by a Baptist theologian, Athol Gill, it drew many of its members from the Baptist and evangelical traditions. Mostly young adults, they perceived deficiencies in their churches and wanted to explore some of the radical implications of the Christian faith in a non­ traditional setting. The B unyip was influenced by the worldwide Christian community movement and changes in Australian society in the 1970s. It sought to respond to a dccline within the institutional church evident from the 1960s and, in particular, to Victorian Baptist neglect of Melbourne's inner city churches. The Bunyip established a range of mission projects in response to the poor and ncedy including the homeless, aged, mentally ill and children disadvantagcd by poorly-resourced inner city schools. It developed educational initiatives for clergy and lay people and sought to reclaim the communal aspects of the Christian faith by introducing its own pattern of corporate worship, community housing, meJnbership agreclnents and leadership structures. The Bunyip established centres in Victoria and interstatc, and developed links with a range of church and cOlnmunity networks. Over 150 adults and 30 children joined the Bunyip and the average length of stay was a little over four years.
